In the deep horizons of your gaze
I could have drowned

This, I remember
from our first acquaintance

How I was tempted with you
dismayed, my stomach tied up
and my knees clenched

Then you approached
with your million dollar smile
and the world around me flew

There was you, me, in silence
nothing else mattered

And within your serene blue ocean
I became a gull flying
across the horizon behind your eyes
